Solution for (42-X)(X+12)=224 equation:


Simplifying
(42 + -1X)(X + 12) = 224

Reorder the terms:
(42 + -1X)(12 + X) = 224

Multiply (42 + -1X) * (12 + X)
(42(12 + X) + -1X * (12 + X)) = 224
((12 * 42 + X * 42) + -1X * (12 + X)) = 224
((504 + 42X) + -1X * (12 + X)) = 224
(504 + 42X + (12 * -1X + X * -1X)) = 224
(504 + 42X + (-12X + -1X2)) = 224

Combine like terms: 42X + -12X = 30X
(504 + 30X + -1X2) = 224

Solving
504 + 30X + -1X2 = 224

Solving for variable 'X'.
